I told my self
There I was at your door
And I told my self to say Hello,
In & out, no lingering,
No wit, humor or banter
Just do what I needed to do
And leave.
And leave !
There I was sitting on your couch
With you feet tucked up under my back to keep warn
And I told myself leave NOW!
You will drift off and be there
When space is all that's needed.
Go now.
Go now!
There I was asleep on your couch
You feet snuggly warm from my body.
And I told myself OK NOW, leave.
She's asleep and needs peace from your CHAOS.
Sometimes it's about letting go.
Ok, goodbye.
Goodbye!
There I was alone at home
And I was telling my self not to call you.
Saying again that YOU needed time to yourself
To be all the things I love about you.
We are enormous and have forever's tomorrow.
Don't call.
Don't call!
There I was wishing I could take back my message
And I was telling my self not to worry about it.
We are enormous and have forever's tomorrows
And really, how many people can I say that about?
She'll call tomorrow and you can smile again.
Don't worry.
Don't worry!
There I was the next afternoon a total mess
And I was telling myself again not to dial your number.
She has her own life and that's why she's what she is.
It is what makes us so undefeatable together.
Let her run as she runs so she can enjoy running with you.
Don't' call.
Don't call!
There I was worried about the message I'd left
And I was telling myself what a fool I am.
And wanting so badly to speak to you, I wrote you a song
A song about the silliness of my obsession and surrender.
And even now, the urge to SPEAK to you is vexatious and massive.
Don't do it.
Don't do it!
Here I am wondering all the time when you will call or write
And I tell myself to wait.
You've said your like to be pursued, so do I like to chase
And so, little Doe I peruse with the underlying fear
That I'll frighten you away so I sit and wait.
Please call.
Please call!
